How we price corporate paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Guest numbers
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your work event, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
